ABOUT THIS BLOG

I chose the title A Few Kind Words because the word kindness originally meant being kin, or kindred, or of the same kind. And since we are all humankind, I believe we should remember to be kinder to one another when we communicate. The alternative is to be unkind, to use language which fails to connect or even alienates. That's no good for anyone.
